Lingerie drawer looking a bit...dowdy? We’ve all been there. Whether we just want to be comfortable or it’s the only bra that fits, our bras can be a little on the bland side. 

It’s not always our fault; sometimes, the best-fitting bras only come in your basic black, white, or beige, and they may not be the most flattering thing in your wardrobe.

Plus, comfortable and sporty bras aren’t necessarily go-to picks for a night out. If you are in desperate need of some spicy inspiration, we are here to help you spice up your unmentionables.

Looking to Spice Up Your Unmentionables? Get Bold and Sexy.

What are “Unmentionables?”

Underclothes, underwear, undies, lingerie; there are plenty of words for our “unmentionables.” Of course, everyone wears these vital clothes under their everyday look.

From boxers to bikini briefs, there are plenty of options that can suit your fancy. When it comes to bras, you can really get creative. While many women need to sport a bra every day, that doesn’t mean it has to be the same old tired undergarment. You can get a bold and sexy look that could be just the thing to boost those girls and your confidence.

Limitations of Plus Size

In the past, plus-sized bras were limited to simple designs and colors. While smaller sizes had plenty of fun styles, details, and colors, the only options for full busts were white, black, and beige.

Fortunately, times have changed, and there is a greater variety. You really can get the look you want and with a fiery twist. The options are endless, from unique fabrics to sexy styles that add a little extra boost. All you need to know is your size, shape, and what you’re looking for in a bra.

What can you do to Spice Up your Lingerie?

So, you want to shake up your plain old undergarments and have no idea where to start. No worries! All you need to have is your proper size, and you can have fun searching for some new spicy numbers to add a little fun to your everyday. 

Fit is crucial; while there are new designs and styles for women of all shapes, you might have a tough time finding what you want if you don’t have a proper fit.

From cup to band, you want to be sure to have the right measurements, and you will be able to find plenty of looks that will work for you. Once you have that, here are five different tips to spice up your unmentionables.

1. Add a Little Lace

An easy way to add something extra to your bra is by selecting a lacy design. If you prefer a specific design and don’t want to stray far, you will likely find one in lace. If you want extra cup support, three-layer bras typical feature lace.

Plus, all the options can either have delicate details or a full lace design. These bras tend to have a silky or satiny feel, and it’s just enough to make your undergarments a little fancy. There are plenty of styles; just browse around to find one that fits what you’re looking for.

2.  Give the Girls a Boost

Sometimes lace just won’t do it, and there’s nothing wrong with adding a little oomph. Push-up bras are a great way to add some flavor to your wardrobe. You can find plenty with fancy designs (some including lace). Not only will these lift and support the girls, but they come in some enticing fabrics like satin and silk. Some even feature ruffled edges and intricately sewn designs.

Nothing makes you feel more confident than a little extra boost. Of course, fit is super important. With the right fit, a push-up bra could be just what you need. If push-ups aren’t your thing, you can go with a racerback or t-back bra for that extra boost and support, but with a fancy look. Support can always add a little something extra to make you feel your best.

3. Dare to Show Off a Little

How about something a little more daring? Sure, push-up bras and lace details are great, but if you want to be a bit more risqué, try bras that have a little more show. Demi-cups and balconettes are unique designs that don’t fully cover the girls. These bras are designed to push up and show off, and they look great under a variety of tops and dresses. 


Be careful, though. Without the proper fit, you could suffer a wardrobe malfunction. You want to have a little spice without spilling out everywhere. Bigger breasts tend to be a bit more unruly, so size is imperative. 

4. Give the World a Little Peek

If you have a pretty bra, there’s no reason you can’t show it off - that is, if you know how to do it right. For the fashion-savvy, showing off your bra straps is part of the fun. T-Back and racerback designs are perfect for this flirty little touch.

The lacy back or intricate straps are meant to show with some tops. Of course, there’s a certain etiquette to showing off your bra as a fashion statement. You want it to be in moderation, playful, and with a feminine touch.

5. Leave it All to the Imagination

You don’t have to show the world your spicy little secret. Besides, you don’t have to look fabulous for anyone but you. Bustier and balconette bras are pretty and form-fitting; they aren’t just for weddings.

These designs can give not only your smooth lines but also the perfect look. They come in all shapes and lengths, and you don’t have to get the full-body bustier. These pieces are the whole package and can be just what you’re looking for.

Spice It Up

You don’t have to settle for a drab drawer of unmentionables. You can build a wardrobe worth talking about. Whether you want something special for a night out, an event, or just to add a little fire to your daily wear, there are plenty of ways to spice up your wardrobe. With the proper fit and a variety of choices, there’s no stopping you.
